I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

While sweating profusely, Gotham Carol could only force himself to remain calm with a smile...but he couldn't force himself to remain calm!

Say, Brave Dancer, you're talking about Secretariat... I'm Secretariat, right?

Chapter 76! Astronomers are coming to Japan?

"Hmm? Oh, you actually have mud acclimatization as well, Miss Carol. I've read your medical report."

"Um, yes, yes, that's right, that's right, I do have it."

However, the brave dancer suddenly changed the subject, as if the sharp gaze just now was just an illusion that disappeared in a flash, leaving people completely confused.

But this kind of opportunity to back down is exactly what Gotham Carol wanted. In other words, if the Brave Dancer didn't give her this opportunity, she would have no idea what to do!

So was this discovered, or is it just a simple, uh...

Scare yourself?

"But, running two tournaments back-to-back, and if I have to participate in the Dream Cup the next day..."

"You can do it, right? I saw your medical report."

Can the medical examination report even show this? !

Could it be that this was just a conversation based on complete trust?!

Gotham Carol didn't know, Gotham Carol didn't dare to think about it. She hoped that it was really like this, and that the Brave Dancer didn't have any other ideas.

If it were any other way of thinking, that would be too terrible.

The brave dancer's smile was still strange and inexplicable, but Gotham Carol felt a hint of indulgence and tenderness in it, as if she had deliberately maintained this conversation like this.

But why is that?

The Brave Dancer has expressed his desire to have another go with Bo Mu Liu Ge more than once. If he really has something to be sure of, would he really miss such an opportunity?

Gotham Carol thinks it's completely impossible, right? Which means...

Could it be that Brave Dancer really said this on purpose just because he thought Gotham Carol would have such ability?

There is no answer at all!

With no way to confirm whether this was true or not, Gotham Carol could only choose to believe it was because of this reason.

Because if that's not the case, then how can we explain the logic of the Brave Dancer?

"Yes, really? My medical examination report is really detailed to a certain extent."

"Yes, this is also thanks to our lovely Miss Liuge, isn't it?"

After the end of the Arc de Triomphe of Liuge Year, every Uma Girl has one more thing she must do after every race.

That is to have a physical examination.

Especially the higher the level of the competition, the more detailed the projects must be.

Well... Faced with the sudden answer from the Brave Dancer, Gotham Carol could only smile awkwardly.

"Yes, praise the song of dusk."

"Ah, praise the song of dusk."

Kill me, Brave Dancer, or not? Just give me an answer. This is torture, right? This must be torture, right? No matter what, right?!

Gotham Carol wanted to flee in panic. She always felt that the scene of wanting to turn around and run was too familiar, as if it had happened before.

Hmm, does it look familiar?

However, just as Gotham Carol was sweating profusely, he suddenly heard cautious footsteps behind him.

Although it was unclear who it was, judging from the restrained expression of the Brave Dancer, Gotham Carol felt that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Who is it, thank you, unknown horse girl.

Uh, could it be Ruby? No, Ruby wouldn't sneak up like this to do something bad. So, could it be the New Universe?

That’s not right, Xiao Zhou is a good boy.

Who could it be?

While Gotham Carol was thinking this, after seeing the Brave Dancer's eyes agree, a pair of small hands covered Gotham Carol's eyes.

"Guess who I am——"

"Ah, who is it?"

Although the sound was deliberately prolonged, the feature is still too obvious.

"Is it Sister Aldan?"

"That's not right!"

"That's Miss President."

"Carol, are you talking nonsense on purpose?!"

Gotham Carol raised the corners of his mouth, then deliberately kept silent and pretended to be thinking.

"Is he asleep? Haven't you guessed it yet~"

"I felt a little sleepy. What was the question—"

Obviously, the palm on the cheek tightened a little, and even Gotham Carol closed her eyes and felt her cheek being gently caressed by the fingertips.

"What else could it be? Is it difficult to guess my name—"

"This isn't a matter of name, it's our trust!"

Gotham Carol felt a petite and soft body pressed against her back, transmitting her touch without leaving any gap.

"So, we're so trusting of each other that we'll definitely be able to guess each other. Tell me my name!"

"Well, of course it is—"

The Gotham hymn stretched out its tone, but actually, it seemed to be enough to tease her to this extent. If it went any further, I would really get angry.

"Of course it's my nemesis, the Emperor of the East Sea?"

"You're right. I'll treat you to a honey drink."

Huh, honey drink?

Gotham Carol raised his hands in surrender - isn't this really revenge, such a sweet and scary thing!

Gotham Carol, who was extremely resistant to this, clearly showed his feelings on his face, while the Emperor of the East China Sea, who was already aware of this, was still able to smile.

However, the smile of the brave dancer on the side became more and more inexplicable without anyone noticing.

This is one of the reasons why I don’t want to tell you, Miss Liuge. Well, it’s not that I want to see what will happen between you and these people.

I just feel that if it were revealed, I would actually become the one you're on guard against, right?

Well, let the answer to such question be revealed in our duel. I will defeat you, not only with the Gotham Anthem, but also with the "Dusk Song"!

"Okay, now that today's training is over, I'll be leaving. Song Ge and Emperor, you two can talk first?"

"Oh, is that so? Anyway, see you later, Miss Brave Dancer."

Gotham Carol watched the Brave Dancer leave, and for a moment, she felt a little relieved. Well, it wasn't that she had any special feelings towards the Brave Dancer, but the conversation just now, which was like a box unboxing scene, was too creepy. At least Gotham Carol felt like she was being dissected. She didn't want it to happen again -

That time at the Arc de Triomphe was scary enough!

"Now, it's just the two of us, Carol."

Then, the whispers of the Emperor of the East China Sea rang in his ears.

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched. She really didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. Anyway, it was... Emperor, why did you become like this?

"Well, okay, get off me first, Emperor. Also, have you done your rehabilitation training today?"

Anyway, let's get the topic away from that weird atmosphere first!

Seeing that Gotham Carol was obviously avoiding the topic deliberately, the East China Sea Emperor felt helpless but couldn't say anything more and could only obey. She took a few steps back and turned around in front of Gotham Carol.

"The Emperor's recovery is going smoothly. The doctor said that if he perseveres, he'll be able to return to the competition soon. Hehe, Song Ge, the next step is to face the Emperor's challenge."

"Oh, okay, okay. Then I have to face every game carefully."

But in reality, the Emperor of the East China Sea only recovered physically.

It's not that there were any other periods that particularly hindered running, but I heard more of Mejiro Altan's instructions and his occasional conversations during the time of the Twilight Ryuka - and the influence of some of the animation that still existed in my memories.

For a horse racing girl, fractures usually heal quickly.

But what is really scary is the difference in price you have to pay after you leave the court, and the time you need to spend on rehabilitation.

And more importantly... I have to get over the fact that I once broke my leg.

Why is Altan Mejiro so deeply remembered as a horsegirl who only won a Game 1 title? Is it just because of her status as the eldest daughter of Mejiro Castle?

No, it was because she persisted in running hard despite the curse of her fragile ankles and won the highly rewarded victory.

And now, has the "undefeated genius" Emperor of the East China Sea, who has never experienced any setbacks, really prepared himself mentally, or realized what difficulties he still has to overcome?

Absolutely not.

"Emperor, have you considered what you will do first after your rehabilitation is completed?"

"Eh? Of course the Emperor will return to the competition as soon as possible and win a resounding victory—the Chrysanthemum Shooting and the Japan Cup. The Emperor won't let us down."

He won’t let us go... Apparently, the Emperor of the East China Sea has no idea what he is going to face.

However, Gotham Carol did not say it at this time. After all, the confident and proud emperor would not listen to such words.

Pay more attention to the emperor in the future, and appear by her side when she needs you.

Gotham Carol thought so, and then began the rehabilitation exercises with the East China Sea Emperor, but——

When a long time had passed and it was almost dusk, a completely unexpected person appeared here.

Elly Speed ​​​​walked onto the grass field with big strides, swinging her long sleeves, and then stopped in the face of Gotham Carol's surprised gaze.

"Sister Hayabusa? Is there something special?"

To be honest, seeing Alice coming to find her, Gotham Carol was actually a little scared. The reason was very simple. After all, the last time Alice came to her was to remind her about the so-called drug resistance.

Although later on, Airi Hayabusa actually said that she would think about hair dye and other things in her spare time.

But the very first thing is very shocking - after Gotham Anthem, I really feel that if Ali Tacho suddenly runs a long way to find me, it is likely that something bad is going to happen, or I need to pay special attention.

"Something special, oh, don't be nervous, it's not something I did, or something you did."

Ali Suzuko obviously also understood this emotion. She could even smile happily when looking at the nervous Gotham Carol.

She, Airi Hayabusa, is one of the people who can make this extremely powerful horse girl show such an expression... However, it would be great if she could make her feel scared in the arena.

Damn disease...

Airihazu looked at the East Sea Emperor who was looking at her curiously and holding the railing to maintain his balance. For a moment, she actually felt a little envious of this horse girl who was still recovering from a fracture.

After the East China Sea Emperor recovers from his fracture, she will be able to stand on the field again and run for her own future.

And Airi Hayabusa almost lost such an opportunity...

That's why she studies so hard, trying to overcome this sad reality.

It's a pity that the progress is slow... but Alice won't give up.

If I could, even just once, I could run recklessly on the field, regardless of the opponent...

Ali Hayabusa wanted to burn her life and let the whole world see her indomitable spirit and strength, but unfortunately, she didn't even have such an opportunity.

"Then, what's the reason, Sister Suzuko?"

Gotham Carol was obviously relaxed a little, but the intense heartbeat caused by emotions was not so easy to ease. However, this was somewhat a sign of reassurance.

Fortunately, since nothing terrible happened to her, it was probably some small happy event, right?

What could be so scary... just come on!

Apparently, Elissa didn't want to explain too much, or perhaps this was more intuitive? In short, she simply handed over her phone.

Um, after opening Gotham Anthem, the first thing I saw was the name that I had contacted this morning.

astronomer.

And what is the content...?
